Well no-one has answered, so I had better! The 3345 was really a 3350 that was "re-partitioned" so that each 3350 spindle looked like four 3340-70MB spindles/disks. It was a cheaper way of getting (maybe?slower) 3340s if you could not handle the 3350 architecture yet. ( you got a faster transfer rate, but if you were not on a cache controller, you suffered from having only one 3350 actuator instead of four 3340 actuators. ( not mention the Fixed Head feature, but I won't).
We had some cheap second-hand 3345s, and WE liked them, anyway.
